On the outside of one bag, write down a word or phrase related to a barrier to connecting classroom learning to the wider world. On the other side of the bag, write down a word or phrase related to bridges for connecting students. The second bag is opened and placed inside the bag with the responses to create a brick.
Take your "brick" and build a “wall” out of the bricks with barriers all on one side of the wall and bridges on the other side. Briefly share the identified barriers and bridges.
